31: Hosu Incident (II)

•-•-•-•-•

While the airborne Nomu was flying away, tiny Mini Nomus came out of its gaping mouth.

The tiny Nomus rushed towards another Hero who was manipulating water to fend off the flames.

But before the mini Nomus could attack the Hero, Mr. Imprint zoomed towards him and punched all of the monster hybrids. He then quickly grabbed the Hero and zoomed towards another location.

...

On another side of the plaza, you could see a blonde woman helping some of the injured civilians. While a teenage boy was sneaking behind a muscular monster.

The Hero fighting the Nomu eventually noticed Akira and was about to tell the boy off, but Akira put a finger on his mouth, signaling the Hero to not say anything.

But, the moment the Pro Hero was distracted, the Nomu overpowered him and punched him in the stomach, pushing him back a few meters.

Akira took this chance and blasted himself towards the Nomu. He then held the Nomu and said,

"Burst" The monster seemed to burst from within. Its body exploded, covering the boy in blood, and splashing the Pro Hero too.

Since Akira put on a large amount of his energy on the attack, he was able to essentially "one-shot" the Nomu. It was enough to fill the Nomu's torso and above with energy.

"Hey, kid! You alright?" asked the well-built Pro Hero.

"Yes sir." answered the teen.

...

After Akira took care of the Mini Nomus, Mr. Imprint zoomed beside Hoodoo and told her,

"Chika, please take the civilians to the evacuation center."

When Hoodoo nodded, Mr. Imprint turned to the Hero beside him,

"Manual, can you accompany her?"

"Well, yes. But my intern. He suddenly rushed off somewhere else!" Manual responded.

"Hm... Okay, what does he look like? I, alongside my intern, will keep an eye out for him."

As Manual proceeded to describe his intern's looks, Akira blasted towards the sky.

What he saw surprised him greatly. There were 5 other spots where buildings were caught on fire.

'What...? Are there more Nomus!?'

"Sir, I'll go on ahead! There are 5 other sites under attack!" Akira shouted as he blasted towards the direction of the sites.

...

But suddenly remembering, he looks around. As he was about to activate one of his visor's uses, he suddenly hears a scream.

He flies towards it and he sees a Nomu with limp arms and legs, slithering around the place.

"AurghhuahhH!!!!" screamed the monster while slithering towards an adolescent female.

When it motions to tackle the woman, it stops as a metal staff was pressed on its back.

After that, the staff was pressed on its brain and a voice said,

"Disintegrate." as the brain disintegrated, the woman's savior spoke,

"Kane-neechan?" he asked, as he placed his mask on his neck.

"A-Aki-kun? I-is is that you?" she questioned with a shaky voice.

Akira then replied with a smile "Yes. It's me. Are you all right? Where's mom?"

"I-I'm okay. But Aunt Minami! She-she told me to go to the Evacuation... But I just couldn't leave her right there! I went back here but then, then t-that monster s-slithered towards me-" she answered with a panicked tone.

"Kane-neechan. It's alright. It's gone now." Akira calms her down as he looks around the place.

He spots a bleeding Hero with bite marks visible throughout their body.

Akira runs towards the Hero, touches her, and says,

"Heal"

"T-tha-thank you." the woman thanked in a raspy voice.

"No worries. Can you stand?"

The Hero replied, "Yes..."

"Then, please help me with the injured civilians..."

...

After taking the Pro Hero: Responder to Kane, Akira touched the ground and said,

"Locate"

Energy surged throughout the ground and he felt 4 people stuck under some rubbles, in different places. Two on his right, and another two behind him.

He first went to the one on his left and took the people out carefully. After taking the people to Responder, he then rushed to the other trapped civilians.

When he uncovered the rubble, his heart stopped beating for a second.

'W-what...'

He saw a woman being covered by an adult man.

It would have been nothing if the woman was just someone ordinary.

Except she wasn't. It was his mother.

Akira was taken out of his daze when the man spoke,

"Pl-please help us... I-I'm alright, but this woman was hit in the head by debris."

Akira quickly helped the man up, and he approached the woman. He touched her neck shakily to check for a pulse. After sensing a heartbeat, he calmed down a little and immediately touched her head and said,

"H-Heal" While blue light covered the woman, he then held the man and healed him too.

Although her injuries were healed, she was still knocked out.

Akira's eyes turned a little cold...

He quickly took his mother and rushed towards Responder. He gently places Minami on the mat Responder placed down.

"Please take care of them," he said with a tone of indifference.

He then blasts into the air and activates one of the uses his visor has.

The colors green, red, and yellow appear in his vision. Looking around, he sees a mixture of the colors red and yellow on the top of a building.

Touching his visor, his vision zooms in and he sees a laughing man beside a purple fog.

He grips his staff and says,

"Sharpen."

He then blasts towards them while aiming his staff.

"Enlarge." He then inserts a large amount of his energy. "Blast Away"

...

"Look at that, Kurogiri! Let's see if someone even pays attention to Stain after this!" laughed a man child creepily, not noticing the huge pole coming towards them.

"Ye-"

As the purple fog was about to reply, the pole suddenly crashed beside them.

...

Once the staff landed on the building, Akira immediately said with a cold voice, "Explode."
